THE GOAL OF SECURITY The goal of security is to enable the effective and efficient conduct of UN activities while ensuring the safety, security and well-being of staff as a high priority.
GLOBAL SECURITY SITUATION • The UN faces a range of threats and risks as a consequence of its role and activities. • Most grave is the menace of international terrorism which has undergone a ‘step change’ in past years. • The UN is a vulnerable target due to its span, accessibility, negative perception, and relatively low level of resources devoted to security. • The effectiveness of Host Country security is variable with UN expectations not understood nor applied. • Need for openness, accessibility, diverse activities has led to multiple locations and dispersion of premises.
GLOBAL SECURITY ACTION PLAN • Resources are limited and subject to competing needs. • Review and initiate action to address vulnerabilities to UN premises in high risk locations. • Proactively engage with Member States to ensure their full responsibility for safety and protection of UN staff and premises, conveying UN expectations , e.g. effective security arrangements, structured liaison, and detailed consultation on threats. • Significantly enhance the preparation and support provided to DOs and SMTs to equip them to conduct their functions.
GLOBAL SECURITY ACTION PLAN • Provide additional resources for critical security functions such as threat and risk analysis and crisis response capability, including handling of mass casualty incidents. • Explore a communications strategy that emphasizes the role of the UN and seeks to balance the current negative perception. • Review the question of single agency locations versus common UN premises, especially in high risk locations.
RESULTS BASED MANAGEMENT FUNCTION 16 – Security This function covers activities related to ensuring a safe, secure environment for agency personnel and facilities so that programmes may be planned and implemented effectively. It includes establishing and maintaining policies and systems of security management and accountability, providing an enabling environment for safe programme delivery and contributing to staff safety and security in all locations. Note: the costs included in this function are only those incurred directly by the agency in providing security. Funds relating to agency support to the UN Security management system lie outside the Base Budget.
RESULTS BASED MANAGEMENT Functional Objective: To build an enabling environment for safe programme delivery while ensuring staff safety and security such that fewer staff are detained, injured or killed. This function directly supports outputs 3 and 4 under the enterprise risk management in the UNDP Strategic Plan.
BALANCED SCORE CARD - RBEC Security Profile: Only Kosovo has Phase III declared country-wide. Three others - Azerbaijan, Georgia & Russian Federation – have regions in Phase III or above. Although all RBEC offices are MOSS-compliant, offices are generally vulnerable due to a lack of stand-off distance located within a central city environment. Important: MOSS compliance ≠ effective physical security
